Texas App Store Law

New Actor: Computer Industry Group Challenges Texas Law

On November 20, 2025, the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) filed a reply brief in Washington, D.C., to challenge Texas's mobile app age-verification law.

The CCIA argues that this law is unconstitutional, meaning they believe it violates the rights protected by the U.S. Constitution.

This law requires mobile apps to verify the age of users, which the CCIA claims could impose unnecessary burdens on app developers and limit access to digital content.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed Texas to enforce this law, indicating a legal battle is ongoing regarding its implications and constitutionality.

The outcome of this case could set a significant precedent for how age verification is handled in digital spaces across the country.
